David and Fritz et al., I don't recall anything specific, but I  
recall seeing checklists at least from John Erskine and from  ??  
Schofield for bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) for Nova Scotia or  
perhaps the Kejimkujik Park area?  Also I have a few photo guides  
from Britain and from B.C. for common bryophytes plus ferns, etc.   
Perhaps Ruth Newell knows of some info' available via the Acadia  
Biology/E.C. Smith Herbarium.  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
